Going to the Jackson Hewitt office in Gloucester to get his 2022 taxes done paid off in a big way for M.A. Tillage.
The Gloucester Point resident was a grand-prize winner in Jackson Hewitt Tax Services’ Double Your Refund sweepstakes, one of only 40 nationwide in a promotion to celebrate Jackson Hewitt’s 40th anniversary.
Tillage won the cash prize equivalent of the value of the winner’s federal tax refund, with winners awarded a maximum match of $15,000, and a minimum of $1,500. In Tillage’s case, that’s somewhere around $1,900, he said.
When he was first notified by phone and email, Tillage was a bit skeptical. “I thought it was a scam,” he said. After a quick check, he soon realized it was real.
Asked what he planned to do with his unexpected windfall, he said he’d probably save it. “I have plenty of toys already; I don’t need any more,” he quipped.
